Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, in which I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.
This episode features an extended conversation with my dear friend Michael Shapiro, who I wouldn't know if it wasn't for an introduction from Crossover Media's Amanda back at the start of Harmonious World. As well as our previous two interviews in 2020 and 2021, I have spent time with Michael in Milan (where his Frankenstein score was performed) and several times in London. His musical passion, intellect and wit come across - I hope - in this latest episode.
Alongside our conversation, you can hear extracts from Michael's flute concerto In The Light Of The Sun , performed by my previous guest Stathis Karapanos.

Get in touch to let me know what you think!

Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, in which I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious. It was a real delight to chat with Ute Lemper : I was assistant to the Producer of The Wall: Berlin 1990 and Ute sang on stage for that performance. Her latest album is Pirate Jenny , a celebration of revolutionary composer Kurt Weill's 125th birthday this year. If you get a chance to hear Ute sing live, please do take it - if you're in the UK, she's appearing at the Cadogan Hall on Friday 13 June and I hope to be in the audience.
